COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State had just stayed unbeaten with a record-setting victory that also clinched a spot in the Big Ten title game, and Urban Meyer was already thinking about next week's grudge match at Michigan.

"It's time to get ready for the rivalry game," Meyer said.

Braxton Miller ran for 144 yards and two touchdowns and passed for two more Saturday to lead the fourth-ranked Buckeyes to a snowy 42-14 victory over Indiana, extending their school-record win streak to 23 in a row.

The victory, played at times in swirling clouds of snow, put the Buckeyes (11-0, 7-0) in the conference championship game on Dec. 7 against Michigan State.

Carlos Hyde became the first running back to go over 1,000 yards rushing in Meyer's 12 years as a head coach. He ran for 117 yards and two scores.

Ohio State's defense throttled the Hoosiers (4-7, 2-5), who came in averaging 39 points a game.

Flurries fell throughout with temperatures in the 20s. Half of the crowd of 104,990 had left by the time Ohio State built a 28-0 halftime lead.

In the waning moments, the remaining fans loudly sang, "We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan." The Buckeyes close out the regular season at The Big House next Saturday against their archrivals.

Miller completed 11 of 17 passes for 160 yards with one interception, hitting Dontre Wilson and Devin Smith on scoring passes of 24 and 39 yards, respectively, in the second half.

Miller was still in the game early in the fourth quarter, and his long pass to Smith made it 42-0 as the Buckeyes tried to grab the attention of BCS poll voters with a landslide margin.

It was one rough day for the Hoosiers. Kicker Mitch Ewald came in a perfect 8 for 8 on field goals, but his 42-yard attempt in the second quarter clanked off the right upright and a 36-yard try in the third quarter did the same thing off the left upright.

The Hoosiers' points came on Nate Sudfeld's 4-yard pass to Shane Wynn and 25-yard pass to D'Angelo Roberts in the final 6 minutes.

Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier was credited with 20 tackles, including five for negative yardage.
